Another long day

Well I had a few moments of hopefullness that I would see some action today, I did actually see a little.  I was woke up early to respond to a riot in progress, I was one of the first responders of off duty personnel, so we got shields and went to the riot to play. I ended up just getting stuck with the team leader running around with him. I didn’t even get to see anyone shoot. I guess most of it was conrtolled by the time we actually got there however the next area had set their buildings on fire so they burned to the ground, that was kinda cool.  I ended up going on and continuing with my shift, then after a while, our guys got mad and refused to do what we said. So we prepared to get ugly, I had two stinger grenades,two riot shields, a huge can of OC pepper spray, an entire box full of non lethal ammo, and 420 rounds of lethal. I was also the one guy that had the best vantage point to get them. But after about 40 minutes, they where told if they didn’t do what we wanted they wouldn’t get their tea(chai). They then finally decided to cooperate. I was really quite upset because then, that had two adrenaline rushes that were wasted on nothing, Well because of the previous riot, the other shift of workers were told they could come in late. So towards the end of the shift we were definetly ready to go home, when we hear a call come over the radio about the same group from the beginning breaking through one of the fences, we were ready to hit the scene and take them down but it was, apparently not that bad yet, then by the time we got off I guess it was some what under control again, although the day is definetly not over yet I may get called in again who knows?
